    By that logic, the IT people over the last 20 years are responsible for not having had the gumption to point out that the legacy systems needed an overhaul or they would eventually fail.
    From your statement I can be 100% certain that you never worked in IT for RBS or Nat West. The infamous "Fred the Shred" didn't get that nickname for nothing...

    I paid a cheque into Natwest the day before these shenanigans kicked off.

    Anyone know if it will take longer to clear as a result?
    If you don't like what I say slap me around with a large trout and PM me to tell me why.

    I doubt it, most of the cheque clearing process is just mailing the cheque around.

    It actually cleared in 2 working days, weird!

    A cheque is only actually cleared on 6 day. However you can withdrawn the funds after day 2/3.

    But the cheque could still be returned unpaid before this point.
